Doctor's Visit....

.....yesterday we had to go back to B'ham for a follow up visit. Not a whole lot to discuss other than he still says that she has some tightness in her muscles and he believes that moving forward with the Botox injections will help. So we have scheduled the procedure for April 13th. I have always been sort of reserved about the procedure, but when she broke her wrist we were worked in with one of the doctors at Huntsville Pediatrics and he was telling me that his parents get the injections for an unknown reason that I didn't ask, but he said that we would see improvements right away, so that sort of changed my outlook on things.

Don't get me wrong we don't want to get in the way of the Lord healing her, but if there's something that she will benefit from then I want her to have it. As her mom I want to make sure I'm doing everything I can to help her. I guess I thought doing this was pretty much telling the Lord that I didn't have the faith that He was going to heal her, but not long ago I heard someone else who has had an accident say that he wants to trust the Lord, but if they were to call him tomorrow to say that they had a cure for him to walk again that he would pack his bags and go. He said who wouldn't? So that kind of put things in to perspective for me that I want to do all I can to help her get back to the way she was before, but I also want her to know that the reason she is still here today is because of the Lord and that He is the one that has brought her this far and I know He will continue to bless her and help her along the way.

I was reading a blog the other day and her little boy has a disability and she was saying that other moms that she knew were signing their kids up for t-ball and it made her want to get discouraged, but instead she decided to look for something that her son could do. It just made all the sense to me. Kensley can pretty much do what she wants, but she has limitations and may require some assistance. I've just really had a hard time with that lately. You sit back and watch all the other kids interact and see that your child can't do that or that she just doesn't fit in the same way anymore. It hurts so bad and I seem to have had many breakdowns over it lately, but reading her blog just really helped me. So instead of feeling sorry for her that she can't do like the others, I'm going to try and start looking at what she can do.

We are loving this beautiful weather that the Lord has blessed us with the past few days. I love Spring and can't wait for it to stick around. Hope everyone has a good day!

Happy Valnetine's Day!!!!

I just wanted to wish everyone a Happy Valentine's Day! And to let my husband know what a great guy he is and how thankful I am to have him. I'll try not to get to mushy. :) He's my world and I couldn't live without him. I hope you have a wonderful Valentine's Day! Everyone show your special someone how much they mean to you and have a great day. Here is a pic of our Valentine card by the Bryd man and Marty.

Picture overload.....

On any given day at the Kelly household you might find dirt bikes going up and down the road.




Or little boys carving in the tree or shooting their BB guns.

Or little girls singing their hearts out.

You might even run into a fire fighter.

And best of all you might get to see your little girl ride her bike she got from Santa all by herself. She did so good riding and we can't wait for it to stay warm so she ride a whole lot more.

Update....

.....sorry no update before now on the last post, but it has just been so hectic. Well we ended up finally getting in to the doctor on Friday, but we had to go to Madison, and if anyone knows me very well I don't have sense of direction. After a couple of calls to Dustin to try and figure out where I was going we finally got there. They took some xrays and the doctor came in to tell us that everything looked good and they were just bruised up. Thank you Lord, didn't think I could handle any more broken bones at the moment, but she's a trooper. I told the therapist yesterday that I was so glad that she hadn't started complaining with any itching yet, but guess what happened later that night, yep you guessed it....I jinxed us. So we have been using the end of a fly swatter to scratch her arm. Not too bad so far, but we are just ready for it to come off. I'm really anxious to see how her wrist is doing after all the stretching it has been getting.

Here are a couple of pics of her with her cast with lots of signatures from friends and family.

Well here we are today and we have gotten the cast off. It was a breeze and she had already fallen asleep before the doctor came in. She had one blister on her pinky, but other than that nothing else that we could see wrong. Took more xrays and they were all good. The doctor said for her to take it easy for about a month.

We go to Bham the 22nd of this month and will have to make the decision if we will be having the botox rescheduled for the 3rd time. She is already trying to use that hand some. We start back having OT therapy next week and we are looking for great things. Will update after our next doctor's appt.

Waiting on the doctor to call.....

.....well we are waiting for the doctor to call us. Kensley has fallen several times this week and it seems every time she falls on the hand with the cast. Her fingers are all swollen and really dark looking and her thumb is moving really weird. It's really gross. So we are just sitting her waiting the phone call to tell us what to do next. We know the Lord can help her through this and I just ask that each of you please say a prayer for her today if you will. Thanks!

Happy 12th Anniversary to my Husband!!!!

Twelve years ago today I married the man of my dreams. He would just make my heart melt when we were together and I still have those same feelings today. I love being with him all the time. I know some people want their space, but I've just always been the type that where ever he goes, I go too if it is at all possible. I don't like being away from him. He has so many good qualities about him. He has a heart of gold. He is always willing to help anyone that needs it. I tell him often that he doesn't know the word "NO". That's why I love him! He knows how to make me feel so special. We've had our ups and downs through the 12 years but we have always made it through them. I thank God that he chose me to be this wonderful mans wife. I don't deserve someone so special, but I'm so thankful that he put us together. I'm not good with words, but I do want Dustin to know how special he is to me and how much I love him. I hope and pray that I can be the wife that he wants me to be and not ashamed to call me his wife. I love you so much and wish you a very Happy Anniversary. Love your wife!

Snow day 2011!!!!

Wow....we haven't got this much snow in a long time and what a fun! Although it was sad that my hubby had to go into work. It wasn't as much fun without him, but we still had some good times. As you can see below we got about 6 inches, maybe a little more in other places.

Here is my table on my back porch.

My kids acting silly.

At Paul and Becky's having a snow ball fight.

Dustin and Konnor all bundled up to go sledding.

Konnor sledding.

Dustin falling off the sled.

Sledding by far is was the funnest thing that we did. We even climbed Steve and Brenda Mahathey's huge hill to sled down it. If any of you know where they live, you know what I mean when I say that was a work out. I was so out of breath when I got to the top that I had to sit down and take a break before I could sled down the hill, but we used a top to a storage bin and sled down the hill, it was a blast. We didn't build a snowman this time, I guess because we did last time and no one wanted to but played in the snow pretty much all day and felt like we ate every chance we got. I don't even want to know how much I've gained over these past few days. But that's ok because come February I'm doing Crusin for a Losin a work and pretty soon I will be skinny again, probably not, but I'm gonna try.

Well hope you all have had fun in the snow, but I'm ready for it to leave now and my kids to go back to school. I'm working from home today and it's time for me to start, so hope you all stay warm today.
